Comment (by jnylen0):

 We see this issue in the REST API also.  When you edit a draft in wp-admin
 without setting the date, the `date_gmt` field is set to null/zero to
 indicate that the draft's date should be updated each time the post is
 modified.

 Probably, in each of these cases, something is setting the `date_gmt`
 field to a non-null value.  See
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5698#comment:14 for details.
